The music replacement on the map room scene was great. On the whole I liked the Prometheus score but there are places where it doesn't seem to fit. I really liked the change here..

The insertion of the viral clips feels a bit jarring, with a bit of refinement it could work nicely. 

I'd agree about trimming some of David's early scenes - especially the Lawrence of Arabia stuff after we just saw Weyland recite the scene..

I'd also consider reworking some of the scenes to imply David roaming around doing his own thing while the rest of the crew eat breakfast etc..

I actually had a similar idea to use Peter Weylands speech for an opening scene but overlaying snippets from the extended waterfall opening. I'd also end the speech with "WE are the GODS now!" - Then have the movie title appear during that initial space shot. 

I really like the idea of more focus on Peter Weyland and David, and less on the rest of the crew.

Ultimately I'd love to remove things that contradict ALIEN to imply that it is the same ship on the same moon sending out the same message - maybe combine Shaw's final message with the garbled transmission that the Nostromo crew listen to.. Not sure if it can be done but that would be my dream edit of the film - that is the film I wanted Prometheus to be. 

More of an alien3 feel / style would definitely be welcome - in flicking through the deleted scenes I noticed a part where Milburn picks up what looks like shed skin on the ground - it reminded me of that scene from Alien3 in the turbine..."in the year 2525..."
